Conversation during the last hour before leaving work this Friday led us to the subject of television, and things like Inspector Morse versus David Caruso (who plays a sort of ginger-haired crime-busting Richard Whiteley on CSI).
I chose to show them a typical segment of UK Saturday morning television - this was a studio game which was actually a number of years past my own era, in which callers get a dwarf (who this week is dressed up as a cake for some reason) to run at a set of five doors, except four of them are nailed shut.
They said the same thing that everyone here always says when I talk about British children's programmes - that it's like something that they would have expected to see on Japanese television, or after taking a large quantity of drugs.
